Trading up: Killeens, Co Cork

Price: € 375,000

On the edge of Cork City, in a tightly restricted setting for building at Blackstone Bridge, is this five-bed brick-faced home, on a great site of 1.25 acre — big enough to build a second house on in time to come, subject to planning.

Location is by Killeens off the Commons Road and parallel to the Mallow road, so accessibility is good to a range of locations, including Blackpool and Blarney.
